Grief-stricken families are praying at a Buddhist temple filled with children’s keepsakes, flowers and photos of the toddlers slain as they napped at a day care center in Thailand.
Relatives console Seksan Sriraj, 28, who lost his pregnant wife in a mass killing attack, at Wat Rat Samakee temple in Uthai Sawan, north eastern Thailand, Saturday., Oct. 8, 2022. A former police officer burst into a day care center in northeastern Thailand on Thursday, killing dozens of preschoolers and teachers before shooting more people as he fled.
“All the relatives are here to make merit on behalf of those who died,” said Pensiri Thana, an aunt of one of the victims, referring to an important Buddhist practice. She was among those staying the night at the temple."It is a tradition that we keep company with our young ones. It is our belief that we should be with them so they are not lonely.”in the small town, but community officials found helping others was helping assuage their own grief, at least momentarily.
Late Friday, King Maha Vajiralongkorn and Queen Suthida visited hospitals where seven people wounded in the attack are being treated. The monarch met with family members of the victims in what he said was a bid to boost morale. Her 4-year-old grandson Tawatchai Sriphu was killed, and she said she worried for the child's siblings. The family of rice farmers is close, with three generations living under one roof.
